Looking for an OT with sensory integration experience for my Dd with ASD traits. Really can't wait the 12 week NHS waiting list...
thanks

Hi manicmama, my ds doesn't have sensory issues so it's not something I've looked into.

But, following discussions on mn I have looked into the Movement & Learning Centre in Bo'ness as they practice retained reflex therapy, which is supposed to help with sensory issues among other things.

How old is your DD? I've mentioned it on here before - there's a great group of families (kids aged 3-8) meets at www.theyardscotland.org.uk/ on Monday afternoons, during term time. Someone there might have a recommendation.

I've also found www.tailoredfoundation.co.uk/ to be approachable and helpful. They provide ABA packages, but might know an OT who could help you.

12 weeks? in our health board there is no such thing as an OT who deals with sensory issues in small children.
